Political Science 392MA - S-Modern Arab Poli Thought

This course explores revolutionary politics in the Arab world through examining the history of ideas that have animated Arab society since the mid 19th century, through colonial and postcolonial times, and up until the present. Besides the various social, economic, and political reasons for the Arab uprisings (which you may have learned about in other courses), this course argues that the way Arab thinkers, political leaders, and activists have theorized political change is important to gaining a better understanding of contemporary Arab politics. Satisfies Integrative Experience requirement for BA-POLSCI majors.
